Normally bustling Banff Ave. is quiet on a Friday afternoon in April. The mountain town reliant on tourism and visitors has seen disproportionate layoffs and business closures.

The Job Resource Centre’s fall labour market review highlights how the last six months looked for employees and employers in the Bow Valley; with signs that things have moved from rocky to recovery.Wanda Bogdane, executive director of the Banff and Lake Louise Hospitality Association, says 'there's been a return of our domestic workforce from across the country.

At that time, even if workers were eager and qualified, there were no free rooms to settle into. Finding a job wasn't the hard part, it was housing. Career coach Reinira Lankhuijzen said that's because jobs are being filled faster, so they aren't needing to repost the same positions over and over again to attract candidates.

"There's still a feeling of significant losses from the seasoned talent that moved on to other industries," Bogdane said.
